"It's too easy to write something crap, be forced to write several layers of crap on top of that, shout "LEAN STARTUP" at anyone who questions you and make a shamble for the exit."

This. I hear "Lean Startup" way too often as an excuse to do something shit. I'm so over it.

Doing something shit is easy.

Every situation is different but i'm generally of the opinion that you should do the absolute minimum required to achieve your objective but just do it well. If your trying to get to market asap so you don't die a horrible death i'll give you a temporary pass on the quality... unless quality is one of your core value propositions.
